Have Vista? L@@K HERE! (1 Viewer)

For those who have Vista, here is a tip I am sure you will appreciate!

By default, Windows Vista power settings are set to 'Balanced'. This is supposed to be a nice mix of power saving and speed. If you have a desktop or are always plugged in, why not get all the power you can out of that expensive CPU?

Start orb -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Power Options
- Select 'High Performance'

If you want to go further and set your own parameters for power, click 'Change Plan Settings'

I found this out yesterday from a coworker and I find it makes a tremendous difference (may just be in my head)

Since doing this Photoshop takes about 3 seconds to open opposed to the normal 10 seconds
